Big E, The Mysterios, King Nakamura & Rick Boogs battle Sami Zayn, Apollo Crews, Otis, Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode, with The Master Strategist introducing a “secret weapon,” Trae Young from the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks. WWE action on Peacock, WWE Network, FOX, USA Network, Sony India and more.

Trae Young still haunts New York Knicks fans, so it may have seemed like a bad dream when he showed up to Madison Square Garden last night.

After professing his love for The Big Apple, Sami Zayn called the NBA All-Star guard to the ring to stand in his corner for the upcoming Ten-Man Tag Team Match. The last time Young was at The World's Most Famous Arena, he was leading the Atlanta Hawks to a First Round NBA Playoffs win over the hometown Knicks.

Young's antics didn't find the same success this time around, as an attack on Rey Mysterio resulted in him being ejected from ringside.


But just like in the playoffs, the tantalizing guard didn't shy away from the New York spotlight.
